Is it easier for you to say “no” or “yes” to things? I was on the phone this week with a friend, about to cancel plans to go see a dance performance. I had plenty of good reasons - I’m not feeling well, I’m battling a migraine, I’m behind on work, the dishes are piling up, etc.
As I heard the words “I’m not going to make it” come out of my mouth, I realized I’d gotten into a bit of a self-protective rut where it’s easier to stay home and watch a movie than go out and experience something new. I was settling for the mundane, not reaching for the exciting. And it was happening in other areas of my life too. Not in huge ways, but it was impacting the quality of my life nonetheless. I’m sure none of you have this challenge, but I do! ;-)
As I was about to hang up with my friend, I asked myself which I would remember more in two weeks – staying home and watching a movie, or going to a dance performance with several girlfriends? Thankfully, it only took me a second to realize I had to break out of my rut of doing the easier thing, and instead do the more satisfying thing!
